Disappointment is the word that best describes the Purdue Boilermakers 2005 campaign in Big Ten play. They went 5-6 and failed to make post season for the first time in 8 years. Head coach Joe Tiller is enthusiastic about this year, with 12 starters returning, he hopes to take the field with a fresh perspective.
Joe Tiller has proven he can win during previous campaigns with West Lafayette but this squad must come together early and 4 home games to start the season should help. Look for the Boilermakers to get back into bowl contention.
Bet on the Purdue Boilermakers here.
Quarterback Curtis Painter returns to lead the spread option offense while running back Kory Sheets and junior college transfer running back Jaycen Taylor put together are one of the best tandems in NCAA college football. One of the top offensive lines in the country will be an asset to a wide receiving corps looking to improve from a season spotted with injuries and dropped passes.
No one has any idea about the special teams situation, which is disturbing especially with the loss of both kickers and punt returner.
